May Waheguru bless their noble souls in peace and grant strength to the bereaved families to bear this irreplaceable loss.

We will also pray for speedy recovery of all the injured persons including the brave Police Officer who reached first at the scene, confronted the killer, killed him and got himself injured in fire exchange.
